BEWARE! This is the worst lie ever. It has nothing to do with the pictures or the description. 1) There is no parking. 2) In order to get to your room, you have to walk a quarter of a mile to the reception to receive a key. 3) Once inside the building, the first floor is 50+ steps up. 4) Inside the room, it’s old, dirty, and NO VIEW AT ALL. It looks over the rooftop of buildings. 5) People working there are rude. 6) When asked for help with the luggage when checking out, we were told there’s only one receptionist so they can’t.
I highly doubt that the good reviews are real. Book at your own risk!

Everything was great. It was clean, central to everything. There are two nightclubs right below, and in Greece the clubs go on until 4am so just keep that in mind.
The AC and YouTube can drown out the 2000s pop beats. Everything is really great, it’s just loud at night.

Apartment was well done and clean though slightly small for three people. The view was excellent. Communicating with staff was generally a bit difficult. They had very little information to give to us regarding sightseeing which was a bit disappointing.

Awful experience!
Upon arrival we were told there was no shuttle service available and we would have to walk 15 min from the bus station in a heat advisory with our luggage. We were not able to secure an early check in so we walked around as they don’t have a real lobby. The small lobby they do have is extremely warm even with fans blowing. Here’s the juicy part, there is no where on the ad where it states the room is located away from where you check in. We had to walk some more up a hill through the town on cobblestone. The only decent part was they had a guy help with the luggage. Upon getting to the actual room, we were told there is NO ELEVATOR and we had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. For someone with previous knee injuries, this was not ideal. Getting into the room we sat on a hard as a wooden board couch, and although the building is old, it just wasn’t clean. It was quite dusty and we ended up wiping everything down. After 1 night we decided we could not keep hiking those stairs everyday of the trip. I went to the reception desk to inform them of all the issues and rather than an apology for their lack of transparency about the state of the property and the lack of amenities, I was met with constant argument. I checked out and requested a refund for the remaining days as we had to find another hotel and was told by them they could not do so. I had Expedia contact them and they doubled down. DO NOT STAY HERE! These people are dishonest and not helpful!

Allt var bra, skön säng och mycket bra frukost på ett annat hotell. Incheckning var också på ett hotell intill. Lång trappa upp till rummet.
Bäddsoffan för extra vuxen kan vara mer bekväm.

Grand appartement
Très beau appartement points positifs : en plein centre appartement tout confort
Points négatifs : demande et payer une chambre supérieure avec vue hors j'ai eu une vue côté rue vue sur toit dommage.
Le lit est fait tout les jours pas forcément le nettoyage
L'entrée dans le bâtiment est assez étroit
A retenir également que cet hôtel tous ne se passe pas dans le même bâtiment à savoir la réception dans une rue, le petit déjeuner dans la même rue mais un autre bâtiment et les appartements dans un autre bâtiment pas très loin certe mais je ne trouve pas ça simple pour une personne qui n'a pas le sens de l'orientation ça doit être assez compliqué

Très belle vue sur le vieux port vénitien et sur les resto. Grande chambre bien éclairée. Un peu bruyant la nuit car proche de l’action, mais pas exagérément. Petit déjeuner inclus de très bonne qualité et diversifié!

Das service war zu gut, täglicher Handtuch- und pantoffelwechsel wären nicht notwendig, die Kochmöglichkeit war sehr eingeschränkt und wir haben 2 Kaffeelöffel gespendet, da nur einer vorhanden war. Weingläser gab es keine. Bei unserer ankunft gab es auch keine nachttischlampen, die aber auf unsere dringliche anfrage am gleichen tag bereitgestellt wurden. Der empfang war sehr freundlich und unser gepäck wurde sehr liebenswürdigerweise vom empfangsbüro von einem mitarbeiter ins appartement bis in den letzten stock geschleppt! Also insgesamt sehr ok!

Underbart!
Vi hade en toppen upplevelse under vår vistelse på hotellet. Alltifrån service, renlighet, läge och standard på hotellet var top notch.
Det var lite av en chansning att boka hotellet men det överträffade alla våra förväntningar. 10/10 ⭐️
